After all, Dad's moustache could kick Holden's peach fuzz straight down the interstate, given the chance. Little Feat's sixth studio effort is the Dad Rock redeemer simply because of how much it brings to the table.

In just nine tight tracks it explores New Orleans blues, dirty urban funk, and contemporary Jazz Fusion - all without ever losing its swagger or compromising its fun loving southern rock identity. After all, Little Feat has always been more than simple southern rock.

They are as much an intelligent Steely Dan as they are a thinking man's Marshall Tucker Band - with band leader Lowell George acting as an alternate universe version of Todd Rundgren in which he swapped LSD with whiskey as his drug of choice. The album kicks off with "Hi Roller," characterized by an assertive funk lick packed between complex keyboard lines and intricate drum work - painting the life of a man that lives rambling from city to city, truck stop to truck stop, and casino to casino without fear or regret.

You can tell that this is a band playing at the peak of their confidence and ability, harkening back to an era when you could use bongos in a rock track un-ironically. After an explosive start the band downshifts into their familiar southern front porch grooves - but within these grooves lie a variety of interesting detours. The band favors intriguing micro-jams over tired verse-chorus-verse structures, often shifting up their tone and time signatures while never letting go of their groove.

Little Feat was quick to grasp the brilliant lessons of more avant-garde artists at the time: that if you strap listeners in with a strong enough foundational rhythm you are granted license to take the jam as far as you please. Knowing this, the band launches themselves out of the American south and into a new sound entirely.

Wild trips up and down boards of keys, Hi Roller - Little Feat - Time Loves A Hero (Vinyl, frets, and strings carry you from one twist to another with pristine confidence - an endless cowbell clang ever-present to catch your fall, should the band's ambition outpace your ear. These eclectic song structures should seem pretentious but they aren't - given the often playful lyrical content.

The gospel-tinged organ and brass are tied down to the dirty earth by a groovy bass line and guitar work that is simultaneously fierce and playful.
